The Ben Lippen Falcons are ready to win right now. They return a strong core of seniors and Head Coach Bennett Weigle has hopes that is what will help drive them to achieve their expectation.
We’re led by a strong senior class with veteran leadership,” said Weigle. “Our expectation is to win right now. Don’t know what that looks like in terms of wins and losses but that is our goal and that is the expectation.”
The Falcons return twelve starters from last year’s team, many of whom will see time on both sides of the football.
Returning for the offense are seniors QB Dobson Ricks (6’3,215), who was 159-271 for 1991 yds 17TDs and 11 INT, and also added a rushing TD. Senior TE Will Helmadollar (6’4,220), WR Bo Morris (6’0,200) and WR Ellis Jones will all be targets for Ricks. Morris had 21 receptions last season. Senior RB Bryce Craft (5’11,190) returns after rushing for 754 yards as a junior. Junior RB Tye Copney (5’10,190) will be key in the offense. As a sophomore, Copney rushed for 204 yards on just 38 carries. Up front, Senior Nate Cole (6’1,255), Andrew Bishop (6’0,245) and junior John Wegren (6’3,240) all return.
Defensively, Helmadollar will play outside linebacker, Cole will play up front on the defensive line, Kaiser will play linebacker, Jones will play defensive back, senor Coleman Davis (5’10,170) will play corner and sophomore Kemuel Little (6’2,220) will play on the line.
